Review: Queen + Adam Lambert @ Manchester Arena

Jan 22, 2015 00:24 BY KATIEFITZPATRICK

The rock band's new frontman well and truly converted Manchester into a city of Glamberts with this five-star performance

Queen + Adam Lambart

Queen blew our socks off with a special New Year's Eve show that well and truly established their new frontman Adam Lambert.

If people in the UK didn't know who Lambert was before the BBC concert, they were converted Glamberts by the end of the night.

It has been nearly a quarter of a century since the late great Freddie Mercury died but Queen has been reinvented again with an impressive new heir to the throne - American Idol runner-up Lambert – a fabulous, glamorous force of nature in skinny pants and a fantastic line in fingerless gloves and enviable eyeliner.

He isn't meant to be a Freddie clone. But here is a charismatic singer who performs and celebrates Queen's timeless back catalogue, including Another One Bites The Dust, Tie Your Mother Down and Fat Bottomed Girls, exactly the way they should be with added new electricity.

Legendary guitarist Brian May has claimed Lambert, who first sang with them on the American Idol final back in 2009, can sing even higher than Mercury could in a live situation and you feel Freddie would definitely have given his seal of approval. The 32-year-old American possesses a voice that reaches as high as his towering rhinestone-studded platform heels. He's a much better fit than previous frontman, Queen and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers.

Theatrical crowning moments arrive in a sublime Somebody to Love and Killer Queen – with Lambert seductively sprawled across a purple velvet chaise longue, spraying champagne from his mouth into the crowd. Guaranteed to blow your mind, indeed.

"We're in the presence of one of the greatest guitarists of all time," exclaims a woman behind me. And she isn't wrong.

Brian May and Roger Taylor showcase the talents that made them the rock gods that they are, Brian taking the spotlight for an acoustic set including a video screen duet with Freddie on Love of My Life and later a 10 minute guitar solo adventure.

Manchester bassist Neil Fairclough replaces John Deacon who retired in 1997 and Roger's son joins the fold to play throughout the concert on percussion, sometimes taking over the sticks from his dad.

Roger sings solo on These Are The Days as a video montage of Freddie plays behind him. And Freddie joins them again from the big screen to sing on the iconic Bohemian Rhapsody.

Asked what they think of Lambert the crowd gives a standing ovation. A frontman fit for a Queen.

Lots of memories here for Adam.

Adam tweet from Manchester during 2010 GNT. Reference to song from his 2003 European tour in Hair.

Video from the Hair 2003 Euro Tour. Not Adam. Adam was his understudy and Margaret Mead.

Edit

That's Scarlet Cherry running into Claude's arms. Adam is godfather to the Cherry's son, Riff.

Today is my day...........eek!

After sorting my special disabled access and escort to seats, I also now have a car ride there and back courtesy of my son's friend who is chauffeuring us both to save me the stress of train journeys.
Manchester is not far away from where I live by USA standards - about 40 miles- but it is a long way when you're in pain and frightened of being jostled by crowds.

I will definitely post a recap when I can. Very, very excited now......!

I can't believe its finally here, tonight I will be seeing Queen and Adam Lambert in my home town

I saw them in Hammersmith just a few rows from the front of the standing crowd, tonight I have a seated ticket

Have not listened to any of the streams or vids yet as I want to be surprised, however I will have lots of fun watching them all after this concert and before I go to Amsterdam for my second concert

feeling so lucky, so spoilt, and so excited lol

Happy to hear you've got it all sorted out and are able to go. I know all the prep will be worth it.

Looking forward to your recap. Have a great time!!!
